GPD Unveils First AMD Strix Halo Handheld Gaming PC with Ryzen AI Max+ 395 in Performance Teaser Video

Sure thing, here’s a messy, human-like version for you:

So, guess what? GPD – yeah, the guys famous for those nifty handheld PCs – they just dropped a teaser. Their latest toy? The first handheld powered by AMD’s Ryzen AI Max+ 395. I mean, I saw this clip on, ugh, X (what even is that name), and there it is, playing “Black Myth: Wukong.” It’s like, the game’s running at this crazy 170 to 212 fps range – I think? Who knows, I might’ve blinked.

Oh, and by the way, there’s this tweet saying the GPD WIN 5 is gonna be at Chinajoy 2025. Like, July 24, 2025. Mark your calendar? Or don’t, maybe. It’s far off.

Now, about those fancy AMD ‘Strix Halo’ chips. They showed them off at CES 2025 – the whole RDNA 3.5 graphics, Zen 5 CPU cores jazz. Did it blow my mind? Sorta. With memory tech pushing up to 256 GB/s bandwidth, it’s like a dream for premium handhelds. But until now, just rumors. Finally, here it is!

GPD’s teaser didn’t spill much about the WIN 5, but I squinted hard and saw some stuff. They’re obsessed with showing off stats – temp, clock speed, power, fps. Just video game nerd things, right? And yeah, that clip showed the CPU at like, 65 degrees C, which is decent. The power’s jumping between 55W and 58W. The iGPU Radeon 8060S is keeping it at around 2.5 GHz. It feels intense to even type this.

Anyway, so the controls were lurking in the shadows in that promo video. I fiddled with it, played around in Photoshop – and what do you know, they came out. Not huge surprises, though. Left side? Thumb stick, D-pad, a bunch of buttons, and something that resembles a speaker. Right side? The usual button cluster with this little touchpad deal, like Lenovo’s Legion GO S. Makes sense?

Those Ryzen AI Max+ 395 chips have been showing up in tablets and mini PCs. But boy, they’re not cheap. 4nm at TSMC isn’t a joke, and if you factor in those supply-demand economics… yikes.

Whatever it costs, it could be quite the beast in gaming handhelds. If the bank allows, huh? GPD’s showing it off at ChinaJoy 2025, starting August 1. More details and price then, fingers crossed.
